LONDON, May 24 (AP)—

A confident Winston Churchill looked today toward the Balkans as a theater of coming victory and told commons:

The Allies will decide whether Germany must undergo territorial changes and the Atlantic Charter "in no way binds us about the future" of that country. "We intend to set up a world order equipped with all necessary attributes of power in order to prevent the breaking out of wars or long planning of them by restless arid ambitious nations." '

  "We have great hopes' that Rome may be preserved."

In his speech of 85 minutes opening a foreign policy debate, the prime minister said the Allies had "suspended" efforts to bring Turkey in with them but "it looks probable the Allies will be able to win the war in the Balkans and throughout southeast Europe without Turkey being involved in it all, although of course the aid of Turkey would be of great help and acceleration in that process."

Churchill spoke kindly of Spain, criticizing those who insult and abuse" the Franco government. Spain's internal policies, he asserted, were a matter for Spaniards

alone.

Proclaiming the British commonwealth and empire in complete unity to go on with the Allies "to beat the enemy as soon as possible," Churchill advocated "a world council of great states" to keep up enough arms to preserve peace after the war, and "a world assembly of all the powers."
